Onyeka Nwelue Criticises Newly Appointed Nigerian Ambassadors, Questions Their Integrity

Nigerian author and academic Onyeka Nwelue has sparked conversation on social media after sharply criticising the newly appointed Nigerian ambassadors. In a post shared on his official X handle, Nwelue alleged that the appointments were filled with “criminls and thgs,” insisting that individuals lacking integrity were now being positioned to represent the country on the global stage.

Nwelue’s remarks, though strongly worded, reflect growing public scrutiny surrounding recent political appointments. He suggested, in a tone laced with sarcasm, that with such selections, “things will work better now for Nigerians in the diaspora,” a statement many interpreted as a critique of the government’s standards in choosing representatives.

His comments have since generated mixed reactions online, with supporters praising him for speaking boldly, while others cautioned against generalising or using inflammatory language
